Big Time Gaming has seen tremendous success licensing their revolutionary Megaways engine to other game developers. However, they are now back with a new Megaways slot game, Royal Mint Megaways. The game, set in front of the UK’s official mint building, has six reels, between 2 to 7 rows, and between 324 to 117,649 ways to win. Players can bet from 10p to £20 per spin across all devices. The base game includes a Reaction wins feature, allowing for new winning opportunities after each win. The game is highly volatile, so players need to prepare for a potentially bumpy and trying experience.
The game focuses on two distinct free spins features, both with a progressive, unlimited win multiplier. High wins can be expected, but players might need to spend a substantial amount of time in the base game first. The main symbols are different coloured gemstones, with the purple stone being the most valuable. Players win by landing between 3 to 6 matching symbols on a payline.
The Megaways engine powers the game, meaning every spin brings a unique set of paylines. Players can take advantage of up to 117,649 ways to win. The wild symbol only lands on the two horizontal extra reels. The Reaction feature is activated on every win, removing all winning symbols and replacing them with new ones, increasing winning chances on the same spin.
Free spins are triggered by scatter symbols spelling out ‘M-I-N-T’ and will earn the player 12 spins. Additional scatter symbols grant extra spins. The bonus round occurs inside the vault, with an Unlimited Win Multiplier in play. Landing scatter symbols in the horizontal reels can earn extra free spins.
Collecting 40 gold bars in the base game triggers the Heartstopper™ Enhanced Free Spins feature, with a win multiplier starting at 2x and increasing with each reaction win. The maximum win is 41,300 times the stake, with a maximum stake of £20 potentially earning up to £826,000 per spin.
Royal Mint Megaways is a solid game, but patience is required to trigger the bonus rounds. The potential for large wins is high if the unlimited win multiplier is activated, and the gold bar collection feature provides an additional incentive to keep playing.
